First of all to ease you, I would like to admit that you are eligible for CAT 2013 as pre final year students of any graduation type are eligible for this exam. Now read on my expectations about your future scenes that would happen as per my contemplation.  Having backlogs or getting detained due to low attendance percentage has nothing to do with CAT eligibility or in a broader view for MBA admissions too. What ever may be your pass out year, you will be eligible for CAT. But one thing I would like to tell you at this point is, even if you could clear the CAT by getting a good percentile will doesn't help you if you don't have your passing certificate in your hand while MBA 2014 admissions. Highlight this point in your mental screen. So, most important thing is you can write CAT this year, but for admissions you need to have passing certificate and also valid and acceptable reasons for your detainment and gap. Else, you may not get admissions into elite colleges. I am not scaring you but these are the facts. If you are planning for 2014 admissions you need to plan accordingly as I mentioned some points earlier viz. having passing certificate in your hand. Remember provisional certificate won't work for most of the B-Schools. If you are planning for 2015 admissions then there is lot of time and things that you can do easily throughout the next year. Plan for a big name/branded b-school. Don't compromise with a smaller one. Because MBA without experience from a normal college will not work for good placements after MBA. Think of all, what I have said. This is just my view point. Concern very knowledgeable person when you are taking any crucial decision. Because its your life. Should not take any risky chance. Good Luck |

For an updated central list of state-wise OBCs eligible for availing the benefit of reservation and information in respect of the creamy layer visit the website http://www.ncbc.nic.in. In case of NC-OBC category, the castes included in Central List (available at http://www.ncbc.nic.in/Centrallistifobc.html) of NC-OBC by the National Commission of Backward Classes, Government of India as on September 19, 2012 (Last day of registration) will be used.

This provision is applicable if the candidate suffers from any of the listed disabilities to the extent of not less than 40%, as certified by a medical authority as prescribed and explained in the said Act. The candidates belonging to categories for which seats are reserved need to note and read the eligibility requirements carefully before applying. It should be noted that while it is the endeavour of IIMs that the candidates belonging to SC/ST/PWD/Non-Creamy OBC categories join the Programme in proportions mandated by the law, they have to meet the minimum eligibility criteria and a certain minimum level of performance in the admission process. The candidates should read carefully the description of admission process followed by each IIM on their respective websites. No change in the category will be entertained after the closure of registration window; hence, the applicants are advised to give attention while registering. Note for SC/ST, NC-OBC, and DA Candidates If you belong to SC or ST categories, your caste/tribe must be listed in the Government of India schedule. The caste certificate that you send to IIM should be in the Government approved format and should clearly state: (a) Name of your caste/tribe; (b) Whether you belong to Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe; (c) District and the State or Union Territory of your ordinary residence; and (d) the appropriate Government of India schedule under which your caste/tribe is approved by it as Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe.

The caste certificate must be shown and a photocopy enclosed at the time of interviews. Moreover, the caste certificate must be submitted at the time of joining programmes of any of the IIMs. If you belong to the Non-Creamy Other Backward Classes (NC-OBC), you must produce the NC-OBC certificate duly signed by competent authority and enclose its photocopy at the time of interviews. Moreover, the certificate must be submitted at the time of joining programmes of any of the IIMs. Failure to do so during the post CAT selection process will result in you not being considered under the reserved category. The DA certificate must be shown and a photocopy enclosed at the time of interviews.

Re: What is the eligibility for CAT examination?
Common Admission Test is the entrance exam for Master of Business Administration. It is conducted under the rotation policy by the Indian Institutes of Management on the yearly basis.
The Common Admission Test is conducted in October and November. Apart from the Indian Institutes of Management there are several other government as well private colleges that accepts the CAT score to offer admission for the management courses. Some of these colleges are very reputed like Indian Institutes of Technology. This is the reason why majority of candidates prefer to appear for the Common Admission Test. Coming to your question, the final year students of graduation are eligible for the Common Admission Test. However you should only apply if you can provide documents of completing the graduation course by the end of June next year. Unable to do so would mean that you will not be able to take admission. The CAT score is only valid for one year. It means that next year you will once again have to appear for the Common Admission Test. Therefore if you can submit documents by the end of June, only then you should appear for the Common Admission Test in 2013. Otherwise wait till next year. I would also like to point out that having being detained will not hamper your chances of appearing for the Common Admission Test as long as you complete the graduation course. But if there are any backlogs, you should clear them before applyin for admission in colleges for management courses. CAT Eligibility 1. You will have to complete graduation. 2. Marks should be 50 percent in graduation. 3. SC/ST need 45 percent marks in graduation. 4. The criteria for OBC is same as General students.
